For this week's NFL games, here are some picks. The Panthers at Buccaneers game is a weird one because the outcome will determine which team wins the NFC South title.
The Seahawks are favored over the 49ers but I like either team to win either way. The Seahawks have been on a hot streak but they were unimpressive in their last win, and the Niners have been dominating lately.
If you're still alive in your survivor pool, taking teams that are almost guaranteed to lose is your best bet. That's what I'm doing with the Lions at Bears game. The Lions played well under Dan Campbell this year but they completely no-showed against the Vikings last week when it mattered.
I also like the Bengals over the Cowboys and the Eagles over the Commanders as both teams will be resting their starters.
The Chargers will be playing their starters since they can still win the AFC West, while the Broncos are on the line for the 1 seed. The Ravens will be playing their starters too since the Steelers aren't good enough to beat them.
In a survivor pool, you could have been knocked out of before last week's games but all 14 people who were left in your pool lost except you, so here's to that.
Here are my final picks:
- Panthers +3
- 49ers +2.5
- Cowboys -3.5
- Bears -3
- Steelers +4.5
- Bengals will win the survivor pool

anyway i agree with most of these picks but think panthers and 49ers might be a bit high they've been on fire but there's always a team that's gonna come out of nowhere and whoop em 
lions at bears game is a no brainer tho, lamar jackson vs daniel sturk lol just dont pick the chargers to win unless you wanna risk your entire pool 
, and those Niners are gonna crush 'em. The real question is, who's gonna take that NFC South title? 
survivor pools r literally all about being in the right place at the right time lol. anyway, i gotta disagree with u on the Panthers tho... ive been saying all season they've been a total snooze fest dont expect much from them against the Bucs 
. Seahawks vs 49ers w/ both teams having something to prove is def the game of the week tho! 
The key to winning a survivor pool is finding teams that are almost guaranteed to lose, right? 
. The Bengals are looking strong too, they've been dominating lately and I'm feeling good about their chances 
. And hey, whoever gets knocked out will probably be rooting for you to win... win or lose is still a great feeling! 
u gotta be realistic about it, they're not gonna come out on top. also, the 49ers are on fire right now, i think you're sellin them short by goin with +2.5. the Niners have been dominatin' all year and i'd take that over a +1 or -1 point spread any day 
I'm loving the drama surrounding that Panthers vs Buccaneers game, it's like the entire NFC South title is on the line 
.
! I'm all about taking a chance on those guys who can pull off an upset, like the Lions at Bears game. And don't sleep on the Bengals, they're gonna take down the Cowboys 
. And yay to whoever won that survivor pool, congrats to you 
! The Ravens are looking like a solid pick too, can't go wrong with them being favored against the Steelers 
.
The Chargers winning the AFC West is a no-brainer, they've got too much to lose if they don't. Broncos vs Ravens is gonna be intense 
. Can't we just watch the games for fun without having to put our money on it? And what's with all these picks for guaranteed losers? Like, why would you want to risk losing to someone else when you could be enjoying the game in peace? 
I mean, I know some people like that stuff, but I'll stick to my fantasy football team, thank you very much... and even that can get too stressful sometimes 
I'm glad you're feeling good about your survivor pool wins 
! Having that one lucky streak where all your friends got eliminated can be super motivating 
.
. Just 'cause you're in a hot streak, doesn't mean you'll keep winning - and sometimes it's better to cut your losses instead of trying to chase after more wins. That Lions game was a perfect example - they had a good run under Dan Campbell but completely tanked when it mattered most. 
It's like, you gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em!
